Stainburn DH is a rugged downhill mountain-bike area on the moorlands above Otley. Photograph high-energy rider action against wide moorland skies, rocky berms and jump lines, or shoot sweeping landscape panoramas of Wharfedale. Best light: golden hour and overcast for even skin tones. Accessible from Norwood with limited roadside parking; trails are public but wear visible clothing and ask riders before shooting close-up.
